It should not be possible to jail people this long without charging them with something, contempt of court doesn't cut it for me.

Unfortunately this isn't even getting close to the longest time for people to be imprisoned for contempt of court. The US record goes to Mr. Chadwick[1] at 14 years. I certainly do agree that these cases don't seem in line with a properly operating system of justice.
